Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pregnancy is a complex condition in which maternal, fetal, and paternal factors all play a role in the outcome. A growing body of evidence suggests that the in utero period is extremely important for the future health of the offspring and the mother.
With this Special Issue, we aim to advance the current understanding of pregnancy complications from a molecular perspective. In doing so, we can gain information about the underlying processes that can lead to poor outcomes. Such insights may lead to the development of preventive or therapeutic treatments targeted at addressing the molecular underpinnings of the processes leading to pregnancy complications.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Molecular mechanisms associated with etiology of any pregnancy complication;
- Placental and fetal contributions to pregnancy complications;
- Omics and genetic association studies;
- Molecular interactions at the maternal and fetal interface;
- Development of novel preventative or therapeutic treatments;
- Biomarker discovery.
Sincerely,
Dr. Melissa Wilson
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
